SCRIPTURE STUDY 1 Nephi 6-11

Dear READER


Today's reading comes from 1 Nephi 6-11. It was very nice reading and I think one of my new favorite scriptures comes from these chapters. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

• The power of the Holy Ghost is a gift to all who seek it

• Did Nephi see different angels during his vision in chapter 11 -- did different angles appear because they each taught different things?
